As you may know there have been multiple efforts to raise funds for the flood relief on the Amazon. The really amazing thing is to see what happens when we "release" God to do as He wills... That may sound odd but I heard the same thing from the brothers at two churches in Bellingham. it went something like this, "The board discussed giving JungleMaster an offering but we decided to open it up to the congregation and see what God will do through His people".

I can now report that God has provided over $13,000 through just those two offerings.. plus there have been individual gifts and other churches help that will bring the total to over $16,000 to provide food for the flood victims in the jungle.

Today our team in Peru are moving over 8,000 lbs of food up river to help. This is the second wave of food that we have transferred into our ministry area, 200 miles above Iquitos Peru on the Amazon. We are purchasing rice, beans, farina, cooking oil and soap in Iquitos and moving it up river on the ferry. The food will then be distributed through our network of 27 partner churches into more than 40 villages. Our relationships with the leadership in these communities makes the perfect distribution network and as we get the help out to theses communities we will be taking photos and video to report back to those that have so generously helped. Next week we will send the third load of food up river adding another 10,000 ponds of food to the communities on the river.

So.. you may be asking why us, why JungleMaster? Its because we are the only help they have on this part of the river, there are some organizations working closer to Iquitos but we are the only group working this far up river. The staff in Peru reported that one Peruvian national group from Iquitos went as far as hiring a boat and loading a few dignitaries up, they ran up river with a few bags of rice and made some promises, but nothing more has come of it. So there really won't be much help from the government.

I will be getting out reports as we get the food up river and we get the next couple of shipments going...
Thanks from the people of Peru and God Bless you all

As you may know JungleMaster is
about 6 weeks from the third annual “Amazon Mission Festival”. This three day
conference is your premier JungleMaster event each year. This year we expect
over 300 jungle pastors and leaders to attend three days of intensive
instruction on the basics of our Christian faith, sermon preparation and
evangelism. Made possible only by God working through you by your prayers and
support…..

This year we have an amazing
staff of world renowned Spanish language teachers coming to the JungleMaster
Missions Center deep in the amazon including:

Jaime
Mirón, VP of Luis Palau association – evangelist.

Abel
Hofkamp, pastor from Cordoba,
Argentina.

Rafa
Quinteros, youth leader from Cordoba,
Argentina.

Tim
Marlier, Dallas, TX

Sam
Powell, Colorado Springs, Co

Mark
Bofill, Calvary Worship Center in Colorado Springs, CO.,

Jorge
Arévalo, pastor in Lima

Guillermo
Powell - Logos Software.

Jim
Bates – Pastor Columbus NE ……..…and
more!

Guillermo
Powell again will build content for the conference this year, his experience
last year in the jungle has lead him to reach out to an amazing group of
friends, to ask them join our team. Guillermo has seen the value and impact
that this conference is making, deep in the Amazon. Immanuel Bible Church has
assembled a team of support people to bring together all of the odds and ends
required to support a three day conference.

We also
are working on purchasing 200
MegaVoices, these small devices are much like a I-pod with an external speaker,
they are solar powered and hold the
entire Bible, 220- 30 minute devotionals and the entire Jesus film audio
version. Imagine……a tiny
community in a dark remote jungle village, gathered each evening with the only
entertainment they have; an audio Bible!
These devices are available to us for under $40 dollars. We hope to give
one to each pastor and leader that attend the conference this year.What better investment can you have in
the lives of others; life to the full through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Put that together with the work God has done
in the last three years;…. the only
missions training center for 200 miles, the only bible study resource library
with 100+ written resources, a jungle based missions sending church and a
yearly bible conference that is the equal in quality and attendance to any
anywhere!

And
What Do You Have?

Your
opportunity to be involved in an amazing work of God

That
said; this is huge
and I need your help. Our budget this year is $14,000.00 plus the cost of the
MegaVoices and we have raised about $9,000.00 to date. All of our supporting
churches are invested and now I’m reaching out to you to help and make this
possible once more. Prayerfully consider an investment in this
project………. Thanks Once again……………..
